Hmmm . . . well I probably misread your intent . . . working here in the dark and all . . .

But I thought perhaps we needed a flesh and blood sort of character to draw the group in. They are certainly not going to traffic with any more spirits, at least willingly. They would run back through the dark corridor, I should think - at least Orëmir would (and drag his brother back to boot)

I saw the Dwarven smith as a natural -- the Dwarves did do work for the Elves and being of a greedy nature, this Master Smith (or son of a son of a son of) who is good-hearted, but a bit eccentric in spirit (as I misunderstood it, apparently) could have been corrupted by the Diviner ah wel . . .

It was a short post, I'd be happy to change it . . . just let me know . . .
